54 km/h. What is the impulse imparted to the ball? (Mass of the ball is 0.15 kg.)
10. Two inclined frictionless tracks, one gradual and the other steep meet at A from where two stones
are allowed to slide down from rest, one on each track. Will the stones reach the bottom at the
same time ? Will they reach there with same speed ? Explain. Given θ1 = 30°, θ2 = 60° and h = 10

the opposing resistive force. The latter is known to be proportional to the speed of the drop but is
otherwise undetermined. Consider a drop of mass1.00 g falling from a height 1.00 km. It hits the

is the work done by the unknown resistive force?
